Browser Caching: Although it may seem commonplace, caching is sometimes overlooked. Depending on how often you change content, you may want to set a long expiration time for your cache. Caching can ensure your browser doesn’t have to load all those elements if a visitor returns to your pages.

Google recommends that TTFB be 800ms at the 75th percentile. Looking at the industry benchmarks for US retailers , four well-known sites have backend times that are approaching – or well beyond – that threshold. Caching the base page/HTML is common, and it should have a positive impact on backend times.

In the show, Google is portrayed by the fictional company Hooli, which is after Pied Piper’s intellectual property. The funny thing is that, while being far from a startup, Google does indeed have a powerful compression engine in real life called Brotli. We only cache hot files in memory at edge servers.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow.

Recently Grigorik has been championing this approach and the Google Pagespeed Insight rules have been updated to reflect this best practice with recommendations on how to reduce the size of "above the fold" content. All CMS's should be offering this level of image manipulation and caching. Control and branch the loading of CSS and JS.
